Hair loss....or not
Not that long ago I was sad at the prospect of losing my hair. Well, now I have received my third round of THC (or is it TCH?) and have not lost it. My scalp looks like someone with VERY thin hair but I do not have to cover it. In fact I still have all my body hair. So now I am worried that the chemo is not working well enough!!! Although it is certainly giving me pain and dropping my blood count!
Have any of you had the same experience?
